year’s fashion in women's wear. Whether there was much, little or no Communist infiltration of government during the Rdosevelt and Truman administrations has become more a matter of political dispute than a matter of fact. The record to date suggests that the infiltration was considerable and effective, although the record still falls short of persuading many persons yiat such as the fact. Former President Truman, for example, does not see it that way at all. « HST Backed White This Communist infiltration of government scarcely figured in the 1956 presidential campaign, but Mr. Truman was induced to discuss it on Labor Day during a Milwaukee television interview. The news index, “Facts on File,” attributes to Mr. Truman on that Occasion a statement that the late Harry Dexter White was not “guilty of anything.” White had been accused in con- . sessional hearings during Mr. Tinman's administration of aiding the Communists. White notably figured in the 1948 disclosures of Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers as a source of informaonage agents of the Soviet Union. Three days after White ap- ' peared before congressional investigatory jp 1948, he died under . s ojX e w haT mysterious circumstances. Caused China’s Downfall? Comes now, however, the report of a subcommittee of the Senate Internal Security Committee with a report on testimony taken last year. The committee and the subcommittee are creatures of a Democratic Congress, for whateversignificance that may hav& in view of their judgment of White, who served a Democratic administration. The subcommittee reported that a Communist underground apparatus of Harry Dexter White had brought about the economic destruction of Nationalist China. It said that White “and his fellow conspirators" held back millions rs dollars in gold shipments to China during World War 11. White's associates were named as Frank Coe, Solomon Adler and Irving S. Friedman. Secretary of Treasury Henry W. Morgenthau fr. served under Franklin D. Roosevelt and under Mr. Truman. * s->h committee reported that Morgenthau approved a shipment 41 kxsvu million, gold, to China in 1943, but that only $29 million had ’one forward two years later. The investigators said Morgenthau vas hoodwinked by his man, White. Says Ike Doctrine Emergency Action OMAHA (W — Former President Harry S. Truman Sunday, night called the Eisenhower Doctrine !‘clearly an emergency reaction” which is only a beginning toward solving the problems of the Middle East Mr. Truman described the Mid die East situation as a danger "that is now of the most threatening proportions" due to relations between Israel and the Arab states which he said “are based on suspicion and violence.” If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — tiiey bring results.

Mardi Gras Climax Due Tuesday Night Annual New Orleans Celebration Ends NEW ORLEANS <UP ) — The parade of King Rex, traditiohallv a gay procession, will tell of Biblical man’s fight against sin and evil in Tuesday’s Mardi Gras climax. Regally robed Rex will lead 20 elaborate floats through New Orleans streets as the city and thousands of visitors bid farewell to the 1957 carnival and greet Ash Wednesday, which begins the Lenten season. Celebrations began a week ago with nightly torch light parades and masked carnival balls. Competing with Rex’ parade will be an all-Negro procession led by King Zulu. Leading Negro integrationists‘in New Orleans have tried to dignify the parade, which as late as 1949. when jazzman Louis Armstrong led the Negro revelers in songs and chances, resembled a native African ceremony. The United Clubs Inc., a Negro civic and v racial orgohizatirfn. urged Negroes to boycott balls and to shun parades if they degraded the Negro race. The outcome of the dignity drive will not be known until Ash Wednesday. In past parades, Zulu-has toasted his queen at bars and funeral homes along Canal, Rampart and Basin streets. Climaxing formal celebrations of Mardi Gras will be the parade of Comus, God of Mirth, who will lead a night parade Tuesday. Comus and Rex join forces shortly before midnight in Municipal Auditorium for a grand ball. Jehovah Witnesses Attend Conclave Os C. D. Steele, the presiding minister of Jehovah's Witneses here, announced today the return of local delegates from a religious conference held in Hillsdale, Mich., last weekend- Local ministers were among the 1123 in attenaance at the tri-state assembly to hear Angelo Manera Jr., district minister for the Watchtower Society of Brooklyn, New York, speak on the subject, “What Will Armageddon Mean for You?” Manera said that world conditions establish +he nearness of Armageddon. He directed his audience u> Goa's word to encourage hope of survival through the catastrophe into a new world of perfection by God.

Eisenhower Buries Ancienl Traditions By-Passing Dinners Given In His Honor WASHINGTON (UP)—Backstairs at the White House: _ President Eisenhower is burying some ancient traditions this late winter and spring in by-passing dinners normally given in his honor by various organizations of Washington reporters and photographers. He declined, for example, to attend the Gridiron Club dinner last Saturday night. He also has informed the radio and television correspondents that he' won’t be able to attend -their banquet March 23. He’ll be in Bermuda then conferring with British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Mr. Eisenhower is the first president in many years who did not join the National Press Club. He and Mrs. Eisenhower also dropped the custom started by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife of including in the White House social schedule a reception for reporters, photographers and their wives. The Gridiron Club, an organization of 50 Washington newspapermen, is 72 years old. Presidents

Members take great delight in writing and staging skits that have burned more than one leading Washington figure to an indignant crisp, presidents included. But the aim is adult entertainment, and most everybody goes home feeling that it was a pretty funny and interesting evening. 17 Persons Missing When Plane Crashes TOKYO US — A Japanese air force C 46 cargo plane crashed into a bay in southwestern Honshu Island today.
